Extensive improvements in Nawa District and exceptional Afghan leadership have transformed the once improvised explosive device-laden area into a peaceful paragon of progress during the last year. Residents walk casually along roads and waterways, confident in local Afghan security forces to keep them safe. The growth of illegal drugs has been nearly eradicated as citizens have begun to see the benefits of growing legal crops.

Interest in education is on the rise,

ensuring a brighter future for the people of Nawa. The people are happy, healthy and hopeful.

“Over the past 30 years, Nawa lost everything, but now the government system is active,” said Haji Abdul Manaf, the district governor of Nawa. “There was no rule, but now there is. There was no education, but now there is. There was no security, but now there is. There were no human rights, but now there is. There was poppy, but now it has been eradicated. The people laid down their weapons and there was peace.”

When coalition forces arrived

two years ago, they brought with them a sense of safety and security. Since then, Marines and sailors have worked closely with the Afghan National Security Forces, within Nawa, to improve security and support development.

“Ever since the coalition forces came to Nawa District, all of a sudden, security came to Nawa District,” said Haji Ahmad Shah, the Nawa District chief of police.

“People cooperated with the government. (The people) put themselves in harm’s way and brought security to Nawa.”

Local Afghan security forces

have taken responsibility for the safety of Nawa residents with transition of security responsibility from coalition forces in December.

The increased security in the last year is also enabling an ever-growing interest in education to develop. Student registration has risen from 7,893 in November 2010 to a current 8,828 within the district.

One new school is currently under construction, with two more tentatively on the way to handle the influx of new students. They will join the other 15 operational schools within the district to educate future generations of Nawans.

Other projects are prevalent within the district as well, to include basic refurbishments to shops within the bazaars and a new solar power project to power local establishments throughout the day.

“The biggest project we have right now is the Marine Road that goes from Nawa to Lashkar Gah,” said Navy Cmdr. Edward Leitz, the civil military medical officer and education and development chief for 2nd Marine Division (Forward). “It’s a 23-kilometer road that is the crown jewel of the SEE NAWA 6A

State of the Community Breakfast discusses changes coming to area LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The city of Jacksonville has an intrinsic link to the military facilities bordering its area, so when news of budget cuts and personnel reductions to the Marine Corps is released, the city knows it will face the burden along with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River.

During the 17th annual State of the Community Breakfast, held by the JacksonvilleOnslow Chamber of Commerce’s Governmental Affairs Committee in Jacksonville

INSIDE THE GLOBE

Feb. 14, leaders gathered to discuss changes throughout the community and its bases in the upcoming year.

Recent budget cuts to the Department of Defense will lead to reductions in troops across MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River in the upcoming years. The Marine Corps is facing cuts which will decrease its numbers from 202,000 Marines to around 182,100.

While the numbers are sure to decrease, the pacing of these changes is unknown. “(The changes) will be driven by the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan,” said Col. Daniel J. Lecce, the MCB Camp Lejeune commanding officer.

Deployments will continue, with the number of deployed Marines and sailors decreasing from approximately 9,000-15,000 to 7,000-10,000. The amount of Marines and sailors in the area is expected to surge temporarily, as troops retrograde, but will lower as the troop drawback takes effect.

“While we understand military resizing will have an impact on the economy of our community, it is not the time to spread doom and gloom,” said Sammy Phillips, the Jacksonville city mayor. “We must stay focused on positive long-term benefits that our community has received through the military buildup.”

Construction aboard the base is expected to continue, per the Grow the Force initiative.

It will include roadwork, more housing, more child development centers and a new fitness center. With the recent addition of 19,000 rooms for single Marines and sailors, they will no longer receive basic allowance for housing to live off base.

Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune will grow and receive more renovations and the Wounded Warrior Battalion will gain a new headquarters building which is expected to open in spring or summer, along with the SEE CHANGES 6A

As Afghanistan’s leadership seeks to take increasing control of its own country, Marines with 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines find themselves conducting more training and advisory positions to Afghan National Security Forces.

“We’re working toward ANSF development,” said Capt. Isaac Moore, Afghan national adviser team officer in charge. “The goal is to make them better and get them in the lead. We want to transfer security to them.”

In previous years, Marines regularly engaged the enemy, clearing and conducting security operations throughout Helmand province, Afghanistan. These kinetic operations led to the buildup of multiple outposts throughout the province.

When Marines went out to patrol or conduct missions, the ANSF would send small teams to accompany the Marines in order to learn and gain experience. The ANSF were able to rely on Marine firepower and technology, but, by themselves, were limited Photo by Staff Sgt. Robert Storm in their ability to maintain stability and control in an area. Over The Marines of 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines employ a four-man team the years, as enemy forces have become crippled and suppressed, to accompany the Afghan National Security Forces in Now Zad, Marines have been able to transfer many posts to the ANSF and Afghanistan. The teams are partnered with the Afghan forces in every aspect - they eat, live, patrol and guide them constantly.

Marines with Bridge Company, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group put the finishing touches on an improved ribbon bridge Feb. 6, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. The IRB was used to transport vehicles from one side of the waterway to the other. This event was part of Bold Alligator 2012, an exercise that tested the Marine Corps’ amphibious readiness.

Bridge Co proves critical to amphibious assault SGT. RACHAEL K. A. MOORE 2nd Marine Logistics Group

The Marine Corps has been America’s expeditionary force in readiness since 1775, but with the wars raging so far inland for the past decade the Corps’ amphibious warfighting capabilities weren’t utilized or highlighted often.

Marine Corps Forces Command and U. S. Fleet Forces teamed up for a multinational amphibious exercise known as Bold Alligator 2012, which tested those tactics and skills the Corps’ is known for.

During one part of the exercise aboard Camp Lejeune, 18 amphibious assault vehicles stormed the shores of Onslow Beach, Feb. 6. In addition, multiple landing craft, air cushions

transported light-armored vehicles to the beaches.

The vehicles had to cross a waterway once they made land fall. Marines with Bridge Company, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, were responsible for getting the vehicles across the water. “This was really big for us to cross 220 meters of continuous span where we’re closing the gap from one shore to the next,� explained Chief Warrant Officer 2 Griffith Ruskin, the improved ribbon bridge platoon commander. “We raft vehicles all of the time, so we decided to set up an improved ribbon bridge.�

If the Marines would have elected to ferry the vehicles across, it would have slowed the process down because the raft can only carry one or two vehicles at a time.

“We came in and set up the IRB pretty quick,� said Cpl. Eric Maynard, a combat engineer with 8th ESB. “It’s a lot easier than trying to ferry them across. With the IRB, it’s continuous traffic.�

The improved ribbon bridge took approximately a day and a half to set up. “This is expeditionary,� explained Ruskin. “The IRB can be taken apart and transported elsewhere just as quickly as we put it down.�

The IRB is rather new to the Marine Corps, as it has only been around for about five years. “This was outside of the box for them,� said Ruskin. “The majority of my Marines haven’t done this, haven’t seen this and haven’t touched this, to include myself.�

Maynard, who has

worked with the IRB for almost three years, was the bridge commander during the exercise. “Overall, the Marines did really well, I’m proud of them,� said Maynard. “I really wanted to stress how important safety is during set up and use. We’ve got a lot of moving parts, got a lot of tight cables, anything could go wrong at anytime.

You really have to watch out for the guy next to you.

They did well.�

The combination of expeditionary bridging assets and skills of the Marines with Bridge Company allowed the vehicles to cross the water way and continue on with the mission inland.

A landing support Marine with Combat Logistics Battalion 26, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, talks to an armored assault vehicle passenger, Feb. 6, to get an accurate count of vehicles and passengers during Exercise Bold Alligator 2012 aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Landing support supplies vital role in amphibious assault SGT. RACHAEL MOORE 2nd Marine Logistics Group

Landing support Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 26, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, were crucial in executing a successful early morning amphibious attack on the shores of Onslow Beach, Feb. 6, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

The assault was part of Exercise Bold Alligator 2012, which tests the Corps' overall amphibious capabilities.

With a bitter ocean breeze blowing, landing support Marines waited patiently for armored assault vehicles and landing craft air cushions to make landfall.

“This exercise is getting us out of our comfort zone,” explained Gunnery Sgt. Gustavo A. Munoz, the landing support staff noncommissioned officer in charge. “This is bigger

than a (helicopter support team) or port operations, this is a beach landing. As a landing force, we have to plan. We have to look at all of the logistics and how it’s going to affect the mission. We have to look at the movement of the troops on ground and coordinate with the other units out here.”

The landing support Marines on the shore were on a constant lookout for vehicles and ships. They instantly started accounting for the gear and personnel once they hit the shores.

“We have to get the accurate count so (Marine Expeditionary Force) headquarters can track the vehicles and personnel,” explained Sgt. Andrew J. Holzhauer, the landing support noncommissioned officer in charge. “We have to also make sure they know where they’re going next to complete the mission.”

Landing support Marines were scattered across the beach to orient vehicle

drivers and get them to the fight as quickly as possible.

“It’s all about coordination,” added Holzhauer.

“That’s why we’re here.”

Despite the experience level of the landing support Marines, Munoz added this was a learning experience for all. This is new for the Marines because the number of troops and gear is much greater than a normal operation.

“This exercise is very beneficial,” continued Munoz. “As Marines, we have to think outside of the box, and that’s what this is making us do.”

The landing support Marines stayed busy accounting for all of the gear and troops, both American and foreign, throughout the attack. With their skills and guidance, the amphibious assault was a success.

“We’re a force in readiness, and we have to stay that way,” concluded Munoz. “Whether it’s peacetime or wartime, we have to be ready for anything.“

Petty Officer 1st Class Kekoa J. Cortez, a gunner’s mate aboard USS Kearsarge, prepares a 25 mm cannon for a firing drill, Feb. 6. As a gunner’s mate, Cortez’s job is to defend the ship and ensure personnel are properly trained and equipped to defend the ship.

Marines, sailors defend ship together LANCE CPL. SCOTT L. TOMASZYCKI 2nd Marine Division

When amphibious ships pass through potentially hostile waters, sailors and Marines work together to ensure safe transit. During Exercise Bold Alligator 2012, USS Kearsarge passed through the hypothetical “Chalker Straights,” Feb. 5, where hostile forces could have lain in wait for an ambush.

Marines of the 2nd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion kept an eye out for low flying aircraft as the gunner’s mates of the USS Kearsarge manned their battle stations along the ship. Just in case enemies made their way past the ship’s long range defenses, there were close range cannons, machine guns and anti-aircraft missiles ready for contact.

“My job as gunner’s mate is to deal with the arms and ammunition on board,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Kekoa J. Cortez, a gunner’s mate aboard the USS Kearsarge. “I train individuals on the gun mounts and we stand watches. We have four 25 mm guns placed on the four corners of the ship. There are four other gun mounts that we can man

up for .50-caliber machine guns or we can mount M-240s on there in single or twin mounts.”

In addition to the normal compliment of weapons, the LAAD Marines brought out their own weapon systems which were positioned across the flight deck.

“If there are aircraft under the radar and the radars can’t pick them up, we’ll be sitting out there watching and observing everything coming toward the ship,” said Cpl. David Garner, a team leader for Battery B, 2nd LAAD. Garner said every Marine Expeditionary Unit has a detachment of LAAD Marines equipped with Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to provide extra defense.

Before firing, the Marines and sailors must receive permission from the captain of the ship who makes the decision to fire or not to fire based on an analysis of the threat. This portion of Exercise Bold Alligator helped revitalize the Navy and Marine Corps’ amphibious operations by exercising defensive systems that may be used in transit to protect the ship while transiting high risk areas.

Retiree Corner

with Randy Reichler

Federal employment assistance for retirees, family members Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune offers assistance to retirees and family members seeking federal employment.

The principle challenge for persons retiring is finding a job in the civilian sector. When we think of good pay, job security and employment satisfaction, a federal job looks very good. It can be intimidating when you approach the three main web sites for federal jobs: chart.donhr.navy.mil/index.aspx, www.usajobs.gov, mccslejeune.com and where you can find a resume form which needs to be completed. The resumes are basically fill in the blank, but it must be done with dedicated effort and expertise to be competitive with the rest of the job seekers.

First, go to the sites listed, browse the jobs and select the job you would be qualified for. Next, log in on the system and complete the basic information requested. Pay attention to the qualifications and job description. Make sure you enter your qualifications just like they list it. Pay close attention to the example given on entering information and dates. You must do it exactly right or the screen computer at human resources will discard it before a person even sees it.

I would suggest you visit Russell Marine and Family Services Center, building 40, on Brewster Boulevard.

Go to Transition Services and ask for assistance. They are happy to help you in your job search endeavor. The staff has a computer lab, reference library and listing of job opportunities, both local and national. They provide classes in job search, interview techniques, dress for success, federal resumes application, mock postal exams and several other classes that would be beneficial to seeking federal employment. Retirees and family members have several advantages when seeking federal employment.

A retiree or veteran with 30 percent or more disability falls into a hiring priority category. The spouse and children of a service-related deceased retiree/veteran earns 10 points to the application for a federal hiring priority.

They must submit the SF-15, Application for 10-point Veteran Preference to verify the priority.

For more information and assistance, contact the Retired Activities Office at 451-0287 or Transition Services at 451-3212.

During the training, sailors learned the procedures for inspecting mess halls.

Preventive medicine works as phantom unit PFC. FRANKLIN MERCADO 2nd Marine Logistics Group

Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, Marines and sailors often venture to their local mess hall to enjoy a meal.

Service members head to the mess hall with such frequency that many of them know the menu for each day of the week, but many don’t know who to contact if they discover any circumstances deemed hazardous or harmful to their environment.

The Preventive Medicine Unit, 2nd Medical Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group ensures any unsafe or unhealthy conditions that are reported or need to be addressed are handled appropriately.

The unit hosted a Petty Officer Preventive Medicine Course at their compound aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Feb. 3.

During the training, sailors learned the procedures for inspecting mess halls. They also learned about food-borne illnesses and different

types of inspections, such as routine, comprehensive and follow-up.

Every Marine Corps installation has a unit like the PMU, but many service members never realize these units exist.

When Marines are unaware of the unit, it is a good thing, explained Petty Officer 3rd Class Charles A. Hill, a preventive medicine technician with the PMU. “If we are inspecting and keeping things in tip-top shape, there should be nothing wrong or to make complaints about,” he said.

“Our job is to make sure the mess halls are clean, safe and a healthy place to enjoy your meals. If the mess halls meet all these standards, patrons shouldn’t need to contact us. So we take pride in knowing we do our job well around here.”

The PMU is responsible for the greater French Creek area. Though thriving as the “phantoms” of the MLG, the work they do to ensure they don’t have to make an appearance is continuous.

E n t W p R

“We inspect eight mess halls once a month, at the least,” Hill said. “Depending on how the mess halls do on the inspection, we then determine if we need to reassess them during the month. We’ve inspected some mess halls up to three times in a month.”

The PMU is also responsible for training the employees at every mess hall on the knowledge they need to keep it running at a high proficiency. The sailors also test and maintain water quality, and work to combat the outbreak of mosquitoes during the summer months.

“We do such a broad realm of jobs,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Brandi Crocker, a preventive medicine specialist with PMU. “We’re in the field, and with units and hospitals in garrison. Our sailors are doing an outstanding job and work hard at what they do every day.”

Keeping Marines and sailors healthy aboard MCB Camp Lejeune is a priority that supersedes all, and if the PMU maintains its diligence, they will remain the phantom unit aboard the base.

PARTNER FROM 1A focus on training army and police forces.

“We have four-man teams that spend all day, every day with the Afghans,” said Staff Sgt. Nicholas Jones, Tolai adviser team leader. “We originally were barracked with other Marines, but we moved to the Afghan compound when we became embedded. Our main focus is to build leadership within the Afghan (National) Army.”

To accomplish this, those four-man Marine teams are partnered with the Afghan forces in every aspect; they eat, live, and patrol with them, all the while providing guidance. They train on every aspect of military operations; placement of posts, guard operations, counter improvised explosive device techniques, planning and conducting security patrols as well as other military tactics and techniques.

“This is almost a complete reversal from previous years when the Afghans would have teams accompanying the Marines to learn. Now we accompany them,” Jones said. “We teach them basic stuff like map reading, reporting procedures and anything else that will help them as we transition them to take control of their (area of operations), we want to push them into that final stage.”

The ANSF realize and appreciate what the Marines have done for them. Lt. Safiullah Ahmidi, executive officer Now Zad company, speaks through a translator Muhammad Kazim Barati.

“We are very happy to have the Marines here. Before them, we didn’t have good training or coordination. Now, we can do these things on our own. It helps us a lot to have good training, we see the Marines next to us every day. It shows what they are willing to do for us. It’s very good,” Ahmidi said.

At East Carolina, we know that service to our country comes in many forms. From the servicemen and servicewomen deployed all over the world to the spouses and children living on the homefront, families are engaged with the challenges of being a part of the U.S. military.

ECU’s online degree programs can help members of those families—deployed service members, their spouses, and college-age children—meet their educational goals through distance education. At ECU, we have the people, the programs, and the policies to offer your family an education from a respected university—around the world and right here at home.

SMU Marines receive fire safety training CPL. KATHERINE M. SOLANO 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

Marines with Marine AirGround Task Force Support Battalion 11.2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), participated in fire safety training at the Supply Management Unit lot aboard Camp Leatherneck, recently.

The course was led by fire brigade instructors who also work as firemen aboard the base. It covered the importance of safety in a deployed environment, but especially the significance of fire safety

due to its preventability.

“We want to reinforce hazard recognition and elimination,” said Damian Gonzales, one of the civilian instructors at the course.

According to Gunnery Sgt. Tyrone Sidney, the company uniformed tactical safety specialist at the SMU, the training not only reduces safety mishaps, but it gives the Marines handson training with fire extinguishing equipment. He said training such as this is important in order to “preserve life and property of the Marine Corps in order for the SMU to continue to support the Marines of Regional Command Southwest.”

Specifically, the hands-on training covered the use of the compressed air foam system.

The CAFS has the capability to turn 30 gallons of extinguishing solution into 300, with the application of 2,200 pounds per square inch of pressure.

“The CAFS is worth its weight in gold … you can do a whole lot of extinguishing with it,” stated Gonzales.

Each of the Marines in the course had a chance to try out the extinguishing system on a live fire. With their practice and diligent safety inspections, Gonzales said the SMU maintains a “state of readiness at all times.”

NAWA FROM 1A development projects. It will improve the freedom of movement and connect the people of Nawa to the provincial center in Lashkar Gah. The road will connect farmers and other businesses to wider markets, not only in Lashkar Gah, but also throughout Afghanistan, by connecting them to the major road networks.”

Marine Road, named by Manaf for the hard work of the Marines, will make a dynamic and positive difference for the economy of Nawa. Agriculture value chains are heavily dependent on paved roads and the ability to transport harvested crops quickly. Connecting farmers to markets with easily traversed roads reduces transportation costs, thereby allowing the average Nawa citizen to retain more money in their pockets, according to Leitz.

“There is a lot of progress and development here. There is not

any place where there isn’t any rule of law or any justice. We have good human rights in Nawa, there are no family problems, and there is no crime.”

The paved road will also make it more difficult to plant IEDs and will provide ANSF more freedom of movement, allowing them to maintain a solid foundation of security in the region. These improvements support the main focus of transitioning security control of the Helmand province to the Afghan forces. Nawa has taken the steps needed to transition; the challenge now is to maintain the growth of progress.

For more information on progress in Nawa and the rest of Southwestern Afghanistan, view video interviews with Afghan officials at "New series gives voice to Afghan leaders” or visit the division’s unit page at the Defense Video and Imagery Distribution System.

CHANGES FROM 1A Hope and Care center which should open in the fall or winter.

“The growth is needed to modernize the base,” said Lecce. “(It will improve) the buildings and the sewer, water, utilities and the roads.”

Lecce noted how the base had not changed much in the decades before current construction, and how after 2015 the construction will stop and the base will go into sustainment.

“I just want to thank the county and the city for their incredible cooperation,” said Lecce. “We could not do this construction without them. We have a tremendous community here and we, the Marines and sailors at (MCB) Camp Lejeune, do not take that for granted.”

MCAS New River has also experienced unprecedented growth recently, said Col. Jeffrey Hewlett, the air station’s commanding officer.

“It’s been quite the impressive year for us,” said Hewlett. “We have brand-new barracks, a new state of the art mess hall, that just won mess hall of the quarter, and this year, we are starting new projects.”

The new projects include a large hangar, more housing, roadwork to improve access to the base, a new gym with an Olympic-size swimming pool and large parking garages. The installation will also be starting $17 million worth of energy reduction projects. MCAS New River is looking to gain about 1,000 service members and will likely also gain a reserve MV-22 Osprey squadron.

Hewlett thanked the local government, businesses and residents and was grateful to the community for their support.

“Onslow County, the city of Jacksonville, in particular, is very military friendly,” said Hewlett. “We have made great strides together to ensure continued development of the local area. We are focused on working together with community leaders, businesses and residents to ensure mutual respect and support.

We recognize our actions at our installations have a serious impact on the local community and we thank you for your patience and your forbearance as we continue to train.”

Other speakers at the event included the county manager, the chief executive officer of Onslow Memorial Hospital, the superintendant of Onslow County schools and the president of Coastal Carolina Community College.

While the speakers spoke of problems they could potentially face, they also spoke of solutions and remained optimistic and committed to the city, leaving behind little doubt that, as Mayor Phillips said during the breakfast, the community can weather the challenges ahead.

MARJAH, AFGHANISTAN

New solar-powered packing facility could change supply-demand paradigm for Afghan farmers MASTER GUNNERY SGT. PHIL MEHRINGER Regional Command Southwest

Construction of a new produce packing plant, the Marjah Fruit and Vegetable Packing Facility, complete with a solar-powered cold storage facility, was recently finished, inspected and is now ready for business.

The Marjah plant could change the supply-and-demand economic model for area farmers.

Marjah lies just east of the Helmand River, which provides the necessary water, through an intricate network of canals, to grow a variety of crops year-round.

But local farmers struggle to deliver their produce to distant markets.

Maj. Erich Bergiel, project supervisor and member of the Regional Command Southwest Economic Development section, related the problem of getting produce to market in an Afghan parable: “Put fresh pomegranate in the back of your truck and on the way to market it turns into pomegranate jelly.”

The scorching heat in Helmand province is prolific, often reaching above 130 degrees Fahrenheit during the main harvest season. As a result, fresh fruits and vegetables have a very short life span, resulting in limited shelf-life and transportability.

“The new building has the potential to change the current paradigm in the produce market,” Bergiel said.

The major and his team recently conducted a final inspection on the facility which has been under construction since May 2010.

The plant will provide local farmers a controlled environment in which to clean, store and distribute their produce, helping farmers to better market their homegrown fruits and vegetables, and perhaps build a profitgenerating business.

Under the old system, farmers harvested their produce and took it to the local bazaar to sell immediately. The problem with this system was bulk quantities of fresh produce would arrive at the bazaars in the morning and lose

their freshness and value as the day progressed.

Smart customers waited, purchasing produce at the end of the day and bargaining a much lower price, leaving farmers with little profit.

The new system, utilizing the cleaning, sorting, cold-storage, then distribution process, eliminates an over-supply of produce arriving at the bazaar, while expanding the farmer’s selling base, enabling them to generate a profit by selling fresher goods to a larger market.

At the heart of the new facility is a solar-powered cooling system, generating approximately 12,000 watts of electricity that provides a cooling capacity of 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The system is capable of running on both alternating and direct currents.

Bergiel, a reserve Marine, who teaches management at the University of West Georgia, said the Marjah packing plant is the first of its kind in Helmand province.

“We hope to use this facility as a pilot (program) to determine appropriateness and feasibility of the construction of similar facilities throughout Afghanistan.”

This concept and technology are new for Afghan farmers. Bergiel says the local economic supply-anddemand chain will be significantly impacted in a positive direction for farmers using this facility.

Farmers will unload their produce at one end of the brightly colored, 1,800square-foot facility where it is washed, disinfected and separated by quality, grade and size.

After grading and sizing, produce is moved into the cold-storage area on the other side of the building to be cooled. After cooling, fruits and vegetables will be loaded into trucks bound for distant distribution points.

Bergiel said the plant is a part of a more intricate “hub-and-spoke” model of distribution system connecting outlying production to a central location where larger quantities of produce are collected and distributed.

Five facilities will be built in Helmand province, act-

A smile gets you in: A look at Female Engagement Team 5 MAJ. BRADLEY GORDON

2nd Marine Division (Forward)

A new video highlights the 2nd Marine Division (Forward)’s most recent look into the men and women who make up Task Force Leatherneck in their fight against the Taliban-led insurgency through the eyes of the Marine Corps Female Engagement Team.

“Inside the FET” tells the story of the Female Engagement Team, the Corps’ solution to engaging the entire population of Helmand province, adding depth to the counterinsurgency fight across southwest Afghanistan.

In this long-form news profile, you will see why the FET was created, learn about the team’s mission and capabilities, and see what infantry commanders on the ground have to say about the tangible results they have seen from having FET Marines alongside their infantrymen.

The video brings insight through interviews with the officer in charge of the team, Capt. Susan “Suzi” McKinnley, Gunnery Sgt. Sonia Sanchez, the team’s staff noncommissioned officer in charge; and several members of the team, to include Sgt. Autum Sekely, Sgt. Sonia Silva, Sgt. Christina Scott and Cpl. Susan Welch.

Welch is one of the women touted by Helmand Provincial Governor Gulab Mangal for her extraordinary efforts in the aftermath of the recent suicide bombing in the Kajaki Sofla Bazaar.

The vignette also includes interviews with Lt. Col. George Benson, Capt. Brandon Turner and Capt. Curtis Shreve of 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (Fwd.). The battalion commander, operations officer and company commander talk about the courage, unique capabilities and benefits of having FET available to support their infantry battalion.

“Inside the FET” allows the public to hear directly from the women of the FET and the men who work shoulderto-shoulder with them, day in and day out. This open and unfettered look at FET is provided to inform the public about a key element of the Marines’ efforts to support security and development in the province.

ing as the “spokes” of the distribution wheel, while the central or hub facility will be located in Gereshk.

Now that construction and inspection of the Marjah plant is completed, Afghans have responsibility for the new facility. There will be a learning curve, Bergiel cautioned.

“But the local farmers are adaptive and extremely capable of taking the reins of this facility and making it successful,” he said.

“It would be nice to one day be back in the states and pick up a container of fruit labeled ‘(Grown and) packaged in Afghanistan.’”

unning is hard.

Putting the body in constant motion and keeping it there for an extended period of time requires proper physical and mental preparation.

Even after you get past the mental and physical exertion required to run a distance, you are faced with another obstacle. Run-

ning is tedious. Even the most avid runner can get bored with five miles of flat, paved land.

Runners aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune received the opportunity to take part in running a course that was anything but boring, Saturday.

The All-Terrain Four Mile Challenge race kick-started the New Year for the Grand Prix Series, drawing more than 300 runners for a race that would lead them

away from the flat, dull pavement and into a world of unpaved trails and paths.

Winter weather worries continue to plague coast

Punxsutawney Phil seems to have hit the nail on the head with his prediction for six more weeks of winter this year. The coldest air of the season, coupled with rain and wind have been battering the Crystal Coast recently, keeping even the most diehard of anglers in home port, nestled beside their heaters while the trout hide in deep holes and the drum rest far below the surface, waiting out the sudden cold snap we are experiencing.

There are a few speckled trout to be found but the majority of them are hidden in the deepest of holes off the coast, trying to survive the brisk waters and windy

surf. I managed to catch a few fish last week, but none of them were large enough to keep. Anglers who spend a lot of time at the Cape Lookout rock jetty have reported sporadic catches of red and black drum, as well as Sheepshead, but have not seen a good week of fishing overall.

Off coast, the wahoo, dolphin and blackfin tuna bites have been holding steady. These fish have not been biting in strong numbers this year and the sudden cold air has not helped the situation.

From Big Rock to Swansboro, these deep-sea fish are still eluding the majority of anglers.

Despite this sudden cold spell, the Crystal Coast has seen a very mild winter, which has brought an early onslaught of spring fish into our area. Shad fishing is off to an early state.

Hickory shad and white shad have been spotted along the Neuse and Tar River Creeks. There have

been many reports of shad being caught in these creeks as well. We will see what the rest of the season holds.

Let us hope that these fish do not make an early exit before our summer fish arrive or we will see several weeks of no fish at all.

While there is not much action that has anglers jumping at the bit at the moment, repair work is making a big comeback along the coast. Bogue Pier is coming along nicely. The King mackerel and Spanish mackerel “T” zone is starting to take shape and is still on its projected completion schedule. Hopefully, anglers should be able to fish from this area at the start of the summer. Oceanana Pier, while making slower progress than Bogue, is also starting to make repairs following last autumn’s Hurricane Irene.

The expansion and renovation of the Wildlife boat ramp in Cedar Point is also making headway. The fishing pier on the ocean side is already done and the boat ramps are nearing completion. Before long, the parking lot will be surfaced and paved. After that takes place, the area should be

open to the public. I will do my best to keep you up to date on these continued renovations.

Recently, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has allocated emergency operations and maintenance funds to the Bogue and New River Inlet waterways where damage from Hurricane Irene is extensive. The majority of these funds will be used for local boaters who frequent these inlets, which are now heavily shoaled and hazardous to navigate, even in high tide. While there is not much information available on these funds or their specific usages right now, we will keep a weathered eye on the horizon. Anglers who frequent the areas where waterway damage is a problem should make sure to check online for any upcoming dredging activities.

The Ask Dr. Bogus Fishing show can be heard every Monday morning at 7:30 on 107.1 FM and 1240 AM and can be accessed on the Coastal Daybreak Facebook page. For more information on upcoming dredging, contact your local pier or the Department of Marine Fisheries.

So we decided to make it happen.”

With tank trails that wind through the woods around MCB Camp Lejeune, the Courthouse Bay area seemed like a perfect fit. However, preparing the trails for racers and ensuring that runners were traversing the intended distance took some work.

“We had a lot of Marines who spent a lot of time making sure the trails were safe,” said Pinkoski. “They worked with the course committee and Dennis to make sure that everything on the actual race course was set and safe in time for race day.”

As race day approached, the number of interested participants proved that runners were ready to take on the physical challenge of running off the road. With approximately 355 runners preparing to tackle the physically and mentally challenging course, the Grand Prix Series committees made last-minute adjustments to the first run of the year.

“I knew these trails were good,” said Pinkoski. “This is a beautiful area and I was really excited about the race, but when you are dealing with anything outside, you have to deal with the elements. We just crossed our fingers and prayed for a great day.”

With race day finally upon them, runners and supporters of all ages gathered at the Courthouse Bay Fitness Center, where the run would start and end, to try their hand at off-road running.

From the youngest registered runner to the oldest, participants huddled together at the starting line, determined to stay warm until their bodies started moving.

As the signal to begin was given, the sound of hundreds of feet filled the air as runners took off down the road and around the corner to a trail entrance.

“I thought they would start to slim out before they hit the trail but we have a lot of runners here today,” said Dennis Yeddo, the acting manager at Area 2 Fitness Center and a course committee member for the Grand Prix series, as he watched runners head toward the trail. “If they all get to the trail entrance at the same time, they’ll be running in a single file line.”

The trails proved to be a challenge though, and racers quickly spread out as they tried to traverse the uneven terrain through the woods.

While some blazed ahead of the pack, many banded together to support one another as they made their way through the uncertainty of the wooded area.

With Marines standing at checkpoints to help guide patrons along the trails, bright orange cones and yellow caution tape that kept patrons from running down trails not on the race course, runners pushed past the mental strain and focused on making it back to the fitness center.

After the first racer stepped across the finish line, runners continued to slowly trickle out of the woods where they were met by cheering supporters.

As racers crossed the finish line, they bustled into the fitness center to enjoy refreshments and wait for the awards ceremony.

Awards were given to the top three runners in each age category.

James Keller finished third overall with a race time of 23 minutes and 45 seconds. Nick Pugh crossed the finish line 23 minutes and 35 seconds, and Joseph Keegan won first in his age division and first overall with his race time of 23 minutes and 30 seconds.

“This was an exhilarating day for us, since it was our first race of the year and a new race altogether,” said Pinkoski. “What better way to start the new year than with a new race and a great turnout? It was a fantastic way to start 2012.”

Grand Prix Series challenges runners LANCE CPL. LIA ADKINS

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The sweat is dripping off your chin, burning your eyes and your muscles are screaming for you to stop, telling you they can’t handle any more.

They’re ready to give out, but there’s still another mile left and quitting is not an option.

It’s the experience most people dread, but can lead to complete satisfaction when it’s over – running. As Marines, running is at the base of most unit workouts, but running monotonous distances or routes gets dull and can take the fun out of it. So, to help make running exciting again, Marine Corps Community Services’ Semper Fit Division, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, kicked off its Grand Prix Series for 2012, Saturday.

Intramural basketball season hits stride JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

hen the weather turns cold and the last of the outdoor sporting events has taken place, sports fans and athletes turn their attention toward the gym.

Each year, the intramural basketball program aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune draws large crowds to watch friendly rivalries as Marines, sailors and other patrons test their hoops skills.

This year, the intramural basketball league has had to overcome challenges to get up and running. Renovations and deployments thinned out the normally busy basketball schedule, but sports coordinator Antonio Warner, Marine Corps Community Services Semper

Fit Division, made sure that each team was given the opportunity to enjoy the season to the fullest extent.

“Because of the renovations, we were faced with a challenge this year,” said Warner.

“We could either have no program at all or we could find an area that was conducive to the amount of space we needed for our athletes to play like adults.”

That place turned out to be the New River gymnasium aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River. With the assistance of the New River athletic staff, Warner secured the gymnasium for Tuesday and Thursday of each week.

With only eight teams, a far cry from the usual 16 or more, Warner was able to limit games to the two nights of the week the facility was accessible to his athletes.

“We have a lower number of teams than normal this year because of the up-tempo in Afghanistan,” explained Warner.

“We also had the (Marine Expeditionary Unit) out, which took a lot of athletes out of the picture. But, with them back now, we expect to see an increase in the number of athletes signed up to play sports in 2013.”

In addition to locating and securing facilities for their games, the intramural basketball program also had to adjust to a new official association.

After working with the same association for many years, athletes, coaches and officials had to get used to new faces and new mannerisms.

“Before the season started, I met with some of the teams and the new officials and did some training sessions,” said Warner. “We were able to walk through the mechan-

ics of the games.”

Now that all the essentials are taken care of though, the season has hit its stride. With a month of games under its belt, all eight teams have proven that they are willing to fight their way into one of the six playoff seeds.

“We will have six seeds in a double-elimination style tournament for the intramural playoffs,” said Warner. “All of these teams have matured into very competitive teams, so we will look at the numbers of wins and losses, as well as percentages and points for and against to decide who gets what seed.

“Anybody can have a bad game, so we make sure to do a doubleelimination tournament,” added Warner.

The intramural basketball program follows the current rules outlined by the National Collegiate Athletic Association for

the 2011-2012 year. The rules set forth by the NCAA govern all athletes and coaches, and are aided by military-specific rules regarding military commitments and rescheduling.

To help Warner plan a schedule that runs smoothly, he asks coaches to bring any dates that they will not be available to the coaches meeting.

He also requests coaches contact him as soon as possible if they need to reschedule games during the season.

“It’s impossible to know everybody’s schedule sometimes,” said Warner. “I just ask the coaches to contact me when they can if they need to reschedule a game so that I can work around training schedules.”

As the intramural basketball teams prepare for the remaining season and the upcoming playoffs, Warner says he is pleased

with the flexibility the athletes and coaches have shown while working through the renovations that displaced them at the start of the season.

“By being flexible this year and being able to find a place to play during these ongoing renovations, the program has continued to evolve and grow,” said Warner. “(Athletes) know they are out to have a good time and enjoy these games as an outlet.”

Currently, the 6th Marines top the league standings with six wins and no losses. However, with 10 games left in the regular season, team standings still have plenty of room to shift.

Intramural basketball games are every Tuesday and Thursday at MCAS New River building 4000 at 6 p.m. For more information, visit www. mccslejeune.com.

NOMINATE

YOUR MILITARY SPOUSE! 5th Anniversar y

Some say the hardest job in the military belongs to the spouse.

Active duty spouses are the unsung heroes who maintain the home-front during lengthy deployments, selflessly give back to their communities and provide moral support for friends, family and their loved ones serving in harms way, at home and abroad. While service members are rewarded for superior job performance with medals, promotions and ceremonies,military spouses generally only receive a kiss and a “thank you” from their significant others.

Women in the Wilderness is a new, all-female outdoor recreation program designed to help female patrons aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune enjoy outdoor sports, learn new skills and meet like-minded women who are striving to live a healthy, outdoor lifestyle.

Sports editor

The constant ebb and flow of life on a military base can make it difficult for spouses of service members to get off base and discover the area they live in.

Diving into a new town head first can be intimidating and nerve wracking, especially when you are trying to do it alone.

Outdoor Adventures recreation specialist Marybeth LeMaire is well aware of this fact and is looking to do something to help introduce female patrons aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to all the outdoor activities the Crystal Coast has to offer.

“Out at Fort Campbell, Kent., there is an outdoor recreation program led by women for women that has been going on for about two years now,” said LeMaire. “I heard about it at a conference and started to do some research on it to see if it was something we could start offering here.”

The result of her research has manifested itself into a new Outdoor Adventures program called “Women in the Wilderness,” an adventure series designed to get female patrons 18 and older involved in outdoor recreation activities both aboard MCB Camp Lejeune and in the surrounding areas. This unique program will be the first of its kind aboard the base, dedicated to helping women enjoy outdoor sports, learn new skills and meet like-minded women who have a desire to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

“I want to bring together female spouses and Marines and introduce them to other things to do besides go to the gym or play intramurals,” said LeMaire. “I want them to have things to do in addi-

tion to that and I want to teach them new skills and give them the opportunity to learn things they might feel too intimidated to do in other situations.”

The program has been in the works for a while.

To start planning her own women-led program, LeMaire spent a lot of time researching different programs at other military bases. She spent time talking to the leaders of the all-female recreation program at Fort Campbell, Kent., and started to look into ways to utilize the areas surrounding MCB Camp Lejeune to her advantage.

“If we have a good spring run, I’m planning a lot of water sports for the summer,” said a hopeful LeMaire. “We have a lot of women on base and I think we have a big enough population of females who just want to try something different for this to work well.”

The first three Women in the Wilderness programs are already planned. On Feb. 25, LeMaire plans to take a group of women hiking in the Croatan National Forest, where they will learn to pack their day-packs and have the opportunity to hike with other women.

In March, Women in the Wilderness will hold an archery class to help female patrons learn the skills of shooting a bow and arrow with the proper form. In April, the Women in the Wilderness program will take its first overnight camping trip.

LeMaire hopes that The Women in the Wilderness’ monthly programs will spark interest in female patrons aboard base and help bring them out to get more involved in the surrounding community.

If the program works like LeMaire hopes, the Outdoor Adventures staff will start seeking to add more programs specifi-

cally designed for teens and male patrons aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.

“This will be our tester program,” explained LeMaire. “We will see how doing a series like this works out. I think I’ve done enough research to be able to focus these programs on women and help them get to know the area.”

Each monthly program in the Women in the Wilderness series will be designed for the climate and flat land of the Crystal Coast. Hiking trails are not rocky or steep, making them good trails for “novice hikers,” explained LeMaire, and with the beach just minutes away, many of the summer activities will be centered around waterbased sports and recreational opportunities.

“The program will offer the things we already do with Outdoor Adventures,” said LeMaire. “It will just offer it in a setting that is led by women and only for women.

Hopefully, we can introduce them to some new areas where they can enjoy time with their families in the future.”

While the program has only been advertised for a couple of weeks, LeMaire said she has already received some calls from interested patrons. With limited space available for the classes, she is encouraging people to sign up before space runs out.

“Come by and talk to us or give us a call and ask us questions,” urged LeMaire. “We will talk to you any time and tell you more about the program so you can decide if it’s something you want to do or not.”

For more information on the Women in the Wilderness program, call Outdoor Adventures at 451-1440 or visit them at their new location in building 728, adjacent to Gottschalk Marina.

(Inset) A barrier blocks off the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune’s quarterdeck while it is being prepared for renovations. For six months, service members and their families who seek medical attention will have to make use of two side entrances near the main entrance. To help them navigate the hospital, corpsmen are strategically located to lend a helping hand.

PVT. VICTOR BARRERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune has been undergoing construction for more than a year now, with most of the construction having little impact on patients coming through and seeking medical assistance or advice.

However, new construction began Monday to the main entrance, better known as the quarterdeck to military personnel, which patients now have to maneuver around.

In addition to closing the quarterdeck, the inner lane of the traffic circle in front of the naval hospital will also be closed to patrons. This will make room for construction personnel to collect debris and stage construction materials.

The only traffic allowed through the circle during that time will be emergen-

cy vehicles; parking for all other vehicles will be available in the hospital's parking lot.

To accommodate hospital-goers, naval hospital staff have set up signs both inside and outside of the hospital to help direct patients to where they want to go. The signs contain information that notes which entrance a patient can use to get to their destination.

Additionally, sailors are prepositioned in several locations throughout the hospital to provide directions and often times escort patients to where they need to go.

For now, two entrances are available to service members and their families who are seeking medical attention. One entrance is located to the right of the main entrance which is close to the Pediatric Clinic and the laboratory. The second entrance is left of the main entrance and is close

to Obstetrics and Gynecology and Family Medicine Clinics.

The quarterdeck’s information desk, pharmacy, and admissions office have been relocated during construction. Patients can find the information desk to the right of the main entrance and the pharmacy has been moved in front of the main elevators. The admissions office has also been moved to classroom C, which hospital personnel can point out to patients.

The construction slated for the quarterdeck includes the removal of the plant atrium to make the quarterdeck feel more spacious. The stairway will also be moved to the back wall and the flooring will be replaced with lighter colors.

“Once completed in six months, the quarterdeck will look more open and also provide the hospital staff with a place to host

ceremonies,” said Navy Capt. Daniel J. Zinder, the commanding officer of Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune.

The renovation of the quarterdeck is just one of many construction projects going on at the naval hospital. This is the first one to impact patrons, but Zinder wants to assure the patrons that it will have no affect on the medical services.

“The hospital opened its doors in 1983 and it’s time for an upgrade. The quarterdeck is often the first impression people receive when they come to the hospital,” said Zinder. “However, no matter what construction or renovation is taking place, one thing we will never allow to falter is the quality of care and safety we provide to our patients and staff. We will work all construction around patient care, not patient care around construction.”

Visiting Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune can seem difficult because of the security practices implemented if personnel don’t already have base access.

Meeting a sponsor at the front gate, waiting in line and filling out paperwork can now be avoided with a new system of vouching for visitors before they come aboard the base.

The web-hosted Personnel Access Sponsorship System is scheduled to be implemented and fully up and running by tomorrow.

The new system will allow for Department of Defense personnel to vouch for visitors coming aboard base by accessing an application within the Microsoft SharePoint via the Marine Corps Installations East web portal and imputing most, if not all, of the required information to complete a visitor’s pass for their guest.

The sponsor will then be given a confirmation code which can be used by their guest once they arrive at the visitor center.

“It’s just like having the express pass at Disneyland,” said Lt. Col. Robert Stanford, the MCB Camp Lejeune Provost Marshal. “If you have gone online and used this system, you get front of the line privileges. You’ve streamlined the process and at that point it’s just data verification.”

As well as expediting the visitor center process, the system was designed in an effort to expand sponsorship tracking capabilities and access control for MCB Camp Lejeune, Camp Johnson and Stone Bay. “It allows us to vet people before they show up,” said Lt. Casey Robinson, assistant services officer, Provost Marshal’s Office. “If someone has some type of record, we can do a quick background check to make sure we’re not letting sex offenders or someone with a felony or criminal record aboard the base.”

Initially, the system will only be accessible with a common access card.

“The system will evolve over time though,” said Stanford. “We hope that in the future, base personnel will be able to access the portal from their home computers to vouch for their visitors.

“The scalability of the application will allow utilization by all of the MCIEAST installations in the future with possible Marine Corpswide enterprise implications,” added Stanford. “They’re building this with that flexibility in mind.”

With continuous modifications and improvements to the application, the system will allow for a larger user base and advance efficiency and effectiveness throughout MCIEAST. Along with the new vouching system, new and improved visitor’s passes will also be distributed to base guests, which will now include a photo of the visitor, a watermark, more information about the individual coming aboard the base and an expiration date that will SEE PASS 2C

NMCRS provides a helping hand to patrons LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

When a young Diana Walters received a Red Cross message about her sister’s death in an automobile accident, she was sure she would not be able to go home to see her one last time. The then-private first class did not have enough money, and her parents were struggling to pay for her sister’s funeral expenses. So when Walters’s command asked her if she was going home she answered with a resolute no, and offered no details as to why.

“I didn’t want to tell them I didn’t have the money,” said Walters. “But they got it out of me, and once they did they said, ‘We can get you home. The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society can help you get there.’”

Now, a staff sergeant with II Marine Expeditionary Force, Walters recalls just how much it meant to have a resource in a time of need.

“It meant the world to me,” said Walters.

The NMCRS, a private nonprofit military aid agency, has helped many service members with a wide range of problems. Some follow the vein of Walter’s story of a tragic emergency, while other cases feature stories from the everyday, the case of a young Marine who gets married and visits the NMCRS to work out a budget.

People visit the NMCRS for many reasons. Sometimes, problems they face may be avoidable; a recent service member visited because he faced eviction after he and his wife used most of their money when they took a trip home for a long weekend. They were provided with budget counseling.

“They don’t judge you,” said Walters. “They’re there to help. They’re not trying to make you feel bad.

They’re not trying to get you in trouble. They’re strictly a resource that has your best interest at heart. You don’t have anything to lose by going there. You can only gain knowledge and be in a better place after you walk out the door. ” It has been more than a decade since Walters faced an earth-shattering moment in her life. More than a year ago, she faced another momentous occasion - motherhood – and the NMCRS was there for her then too.

She felt it was important to go to the Budget for Baby classes held by the organization.

“My husband is a full-time student and we’re a singleincome family,” said Walker. “It just made sense to me SEE NMCRS 2C

Chaplains from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River and Chaplains Religious Enrichment Development Operations met with local pastors at a local restaurant in Jacksonville, N.C., Friday.

Local pastors, base chaplains gather to better minister service members PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Chaplains with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River and Chaplains Religious Enrichment Development Operations met with local pastors to break bread and announce the beginning of a united mission to helping service members and their families.

More than 100 invites were sent to local churches and almost half of them were accepted to join the breakfast meeting, held at a local restaurant in Jacksonville, N.C., Friday.

Navy Lt. Calvin B. Gardner, the training and operations chaplain with MCB Camp Lejeune proposed the meeting and took the lead in this initiative after reflecting on the works established

by chaplains aboard Marine Corps installations.

“We’ve been working internally, collectively combining aspects of theology with psychology, as well as biology, because they all play a part in supporting a healthy life for (service members),” said Gardner.

By thinking outside the box, Gardner took the cooperative effort that occurred internally and developed the idea to apply it externally.

During an open discussion, they discussed the fact that Marines and sailors were reaching out to pastors in local churches because of their previous connection with them and simply wanting to find support away from the base.

Some pastors also wanted to know more about the challenges service members face to help ad-

dress things such as combat stress or post-traumatic stress disorder.

“When the Marines and sailors come (home) from (deployment), 90 percent of them will be all right,” said Bishop Aubrey G. Mullen Jr., with the Full Gospel Baptist Church, Fellowship International of North Carolina. “But it’s the 10 percent that we are trying to reach.”

Navy Capt. Milton D. Gianulis, the command chaplain with MCB Camp Lejeune andMarine Corps Installations East, said the base chaplains plan on holding meetings aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, where local pastors will also have the opportunity to attend classes such as Combat Operational Stress Control.

Marines who are nearing their end of active service contracts honorably and looking to join one of the nation’s top-tier undergraduate universities may now have a chance to challenge themselves at Columbia University, if they meet the requirements.

Columbia University’s dean of admissions, Curtis Rodgers, will speak to potential candidates aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune who are eager to earn a seat at the university, March 13. Marines who meet certain requirements are strongly encouraged to participate in interviews and see if they have a shot at the Ivy League university.

“Through the Leadership Scholar Program, a joining of (Elite-to-Elite Academic Team) from (Marine Corps Installations East) and the Special Admissions Program from (Marine Corps Installations West), we are searching for qualified Marines who want to go to these prestigious colleges for four years,” said David Schock, the regional school liaison with MCIEAST. “Columbia University, a strong supporter of the Leadership Scholar Program, wants Marines in their university,” said Schock. “Marines, some of them 23 or 26 years old, have been in leadership positions and can take care of themselves. A mature person brings a mature perspective compared to 18-year-olds fresh out of high school.”

An added benefit of going through the Leadership Scholar Program is that service members who are looking to join Columbia University do not have to compete against high school students.

“The SATs of some Marines may not be as high as a high school students’, but Columbia University is looking at the overall Marine not just the test scores,” added Schock.

Columbia University is just one of more than 100 universities and colleges nationwide that work with the Leadership Scholar Program and is considered the most active in acquiring Marines.

Schock stated that he is looking for Marines who are nearing their EAS date and can start college in the fall of 2012 or in the spring of 2013.

Although the universities are not just looking at test scores to see who is eligible, they do have requirements potential students need to meet.

A minimum General Technical score of 115, SAT of 1150 and an Armed Forces Qualifications Test score of 70 are required to be eligible for an interview with the dean of admissions.

Additionally, the service member must be getting out with an honorable discharge. If accepted, it is highly encouraged that service members use their Post-9/11 G.I. Bill.

Potential interviewees are encouraged to discuss interests and goals.

Service members hoping to participate in the interview must submit an application form no later than March 5, available from Beth Morgan, the Special Admissions Program recruiter, any public affairs officers or Schock.

Both Morgan and Schock can be reached through e-mail at beth.morgan@usmc.mil or david.schock@usmc.mil.

For additional information on the Leadership Scholar Program, service members can visit www.leadershipscholarprogram.com or www.gs.columbia.edu.

Memorial held for fallen Marine PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Marines, friends and family filled the seats in the Protestant Chapel aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, for the memorial service in honor of Sgt. Robert A. Cumberland, a training noncommissioned officer with Headquarters and Support Battalion S-3, MCB Camp Lejeune, Feb. 9.

Cumberland died due to heart failure Dec. 18 of last year, but the strength of his heart has left an eternal impression on many who knew him.

“It’s no doubt that Sgt. Cumberland will be greatly missed,” said 1st Lt. Robert M. Collinsworth, the company commander of Company A, HQSPTBn. “But I personally believe that his light has not been extinguished. It’s my belief that everyone with whom he came in contact experienced something intangible.”

Cumberland led his fellow Marines by showing his commitment to the mission and displaying un-

When an Iowa National Guard soldier recently took the stage wearing his utility uniform at a Ron Paul rally in Ankeny, Iowa and spoke about his support of the candidate for the Republican primary, it raised immediate red flags to service members, the media and many others, drawing the ire of those familiar with regulations.

While active-duty service members are encouraged to exercise their right to vote and participate in the democratic process, they are not permitted to speak in partisan political gatherings in uniform. Service members are allowed to attend political events in the capacity of a private citizen, not in any way that can be construed as a representation of the armed forces.

“Active-duty military members are required to be apolitical as they go about their business serving the nation,” said

CHAPLAINS FROM 1C chaplains on the base, we can bridge that gap and help each other,” said Mullen.

Gianulis is also planning to authorize base access to pastors who may be requested by a service member.

However, only one pastor from each congregation will be allowed access and will not be able to sponsor other visitors.

“We understand that there are service members that don’t go to chaplains, so building a collaborative relationship with the local pastors will help them help our Marines and sailors,” said Gardner. “We have a vision of uniting the pastors with our chaplains. We’re going to start small, but we’ll grow over time.”

According to Gardner, the plan is to hold quarterly meetings and maintain consistent collaboration and communication to strengthen the relationship between the chaplains and pastors.

“I think that it was very well orchestrated and it was a service that is much needed in the Corps and Navy community and the Jacksonville community,” said Drake Matthew, a pastor with the United Pentecostal Church in Jacksonville. “When invited to participate in this type of program, what we tend to find is that we get to get involved in being able to serve both God and country in a greater way. What these gentlemen explained today is very real. It’s kind of where the rubber meets the road in ministry, and it’s good to be a part of that.”

“He put out such a love with his family that he also shared that with the Marines,” said Bechtel.

“The younger Marines would look to him for guidance because they knew that his insight on family was such a key component in his life.

Therefore, he was a good adviser for them when it came to family problems.”

Many described Cumberland as being calm and compassionate, even those who only knew him briefly.

“I personally did not know Sgt. Cumberland for very long,” said Navy Lt. Doyl E. McMurry, the chaplain with HQSPTBn., MCB Camp Lejeune. “What I knew about him was that he cared deeply for folks, and he never wanted to complain about what was going on with himself. There are others who knew him - some knew him much better than I, (such as) his family … (and) his Marine Corps family.

Some people are here today because a Marine has gone home … and that’s enough.”

Service members should be mindful of political activities

PASS will not replace the previous way of vouching for visitors. If sponsors still choose to meet their guest at the visitor center they may do so.

Once the system is in full operation, base personnel can access PASS at https://lejeune.mcieast.usmc.mil/ SES/PASS/default.aspx.

yielding resilience.

“He was physically hurting and a lesser man would have brought those things into his work, but he never used that as a crutch,” said Eric Malone, a financial manager with dispersing office, HQSPTBn. “He was still upbeat and positive.

If anyone had a reason or excuse, he did, but he never used it.”

Cumberland battled with multiple sclerosis and a sleeping disorder, but his ability to push through his physical and mental challenges inspired those aware of the issues he faced and fooled those who weren’t aware.

“He was in a lot of pain,” said Vickie Bechtel, a financial management supervisor with dispersing office, HQSPTBn. “But you would never know it, unless you asked him. He had gone through sleep apnea. Even with severe sleeping problems, he still came to work to lead his Marines.”

Cumberland was a leader of Marines, but he was also seen as a father figure to some of his junior Marines.

As a new parent, she was unsure of what to expect. She didn’t know what to buy or what to budget for. The class gave her detailed examples of all of it, and left her more confident. But, they gave her something more, a sense of home that she may not have been able to get otherwise.

“It was amazing,” said Walters. “When you go through the class, they give you a free layette.

Inside of the layette, they had a hand-knitted blanket that a volunteer had made. They really do care. My son loves that blanket. It’s the softest blanket in the world. My parents have passed away and my mother couldn’t knit him one. To get that from somebody, it meant a lot.”

Army Col. Shawn Shumake, director of legal policy within the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness in an Armed Forces Press Service news story.

Although service members can display bumper stickers or be present at political events, they cannot display large political signs on private vehicles or actively participate in a political event.

“Marines and Department of Defense employees need to be mindful of how their actions may be perceived and take extra precautions to avoid any appearance of improper DOD endorsement of a particular political party, candidate, cause or issue,” said Gen. James F. Amos, the commandant of the Marine Corps, in a recent memorandum.

Service members should be mindful of how they interact when tackling the subject of politics and avoid distributing campaign materials in a federal workplace through any

means including e-mail.

They can take part in the election process in many ways, however, they should consult regulations before partaking, as there are many specific rules.

For instance, they can write a letter to the editor of a newspaper about a political candidate as a private citizen if the letter is not part of an organized letter campaign, or vote for or against a candidate. If they identify themselves as a service member, they must clearly state that the views expressed are those of the individual and not those of the DOD. The rules also affect families who live aboard military housing, including privatized housing developments. They cannot display political signs, banners or posters visible to the public.

It is unclear what consequences the soldier at the Ron Paul rally faced.

Service members can avoid similar scrutiny by reading DOD Directive 1344.10, or contacting Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Base Legal at 4511903, if they have any questions.

NOMINATE

YOUR MILITARY SPOUSE! 5th Anniversar y

Some say the hardest job in the military belongs to the spouse.

Active duty spouses are the unsung heroes who maintain the home-front during lengthy deployments, selflessly give back to their communities and provide moral support for friends, family and their loved ones serving in harms way, at home and abroad. While service members are rewarded for superior job performance with medals, promotions and ceremonies,military spouses generally only receive a kiss and a “thank you” from their significant others.

POST YOUR NOMINATION ONLINE TOdAY! dEAdLINE fOR ENTRY IS fRIdAY, APRIL 6, 2012!

MAkE YOUR NOMINATIONS AT www.cAMPLEjEUNEgLObE.cOM/hAh Landmark Military Media of North Carolina is proud to host the 5th Annual Heroes at Home, 2012 Military Spouse Awards! Nominations will be accepted from all branches of the Military serving Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, New River Air Station, Cherry Point Air Station and the surrounding Military bases located in Eastern North Carolina through the April 5.

All nominees, finalists and the Spouse of the Year will be recognized by the business and military community at an awards luncheon hosted by Landmark Military Media of North Carolina, proud civilian publishers of The Globe and Rotovue, at the Camp Lejeune Officer’s Club on Thursday, May 17th.

utterflies fluttered in her stomach as she took a final glance in the mirror.

Her hair was perfectly curled, her lips were painted with a subtle shade of lipstick and her dress made her feel like royalty.

Tonight would be special. Tonight she would dance with a man who loved her unconditionally, the one who loved her first.

As she floated to the top of the stairs, her Prince Charming stood waiting, dressed in the

uniform reserved for only special events.

“You look beautiful, princess,” he said.

Grinning from ear to ear, she replied, “Thank you, Daddy.”

More than 300 Marines, sailors and civilians celebrated their special little ladies at the second annual Daddy-Daughter Dance at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday.

“This has become my favorite event of thee year,” said Wanda Colwell, Clubs and Cater-ing Division director. “It’s so much fun.”

After last year’s tremendous success, Colwell prepared for a bigger crowd. What she didn’t expect was a response twice as large, selling out of tickets so quickly and still having a waiting list of eager fathers looking for a chance to make their daughters feel special.

“We booked both rooms because we didn’t want to disappoint anybody,” she explained. “We have approximately 660 guests, but we had so many (more) who wanted to come.”

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

Audiences make ‘Joyful Noise’ for family film Now playing at Camp Lejeune “JOYFUL NOISE” (PG-13) “Joyful Noise” is a musical and performing arts film about two strongminded women who must work together to save the small town gospel choir, in danger of being shut down because of budget cuts.

The small town of Pacashau, Ga., has fallen on hard times, but the people are counting on the Divinity Church Choir to lift their spirits by winning the National Joyful Noise Competition.

The choir has always known how to sing in harmony, but the discord between the two leading ladies now threatens to tear them apart.

Queen Latifah (“Just Wright,” “Chicago,” “Hairspray”) stars as Vi Rose Hill, the newly appointed director, who is stubborn and wants to stick with her tried-andtrue traditional style.

Dolly Parton (“Steel Magnolias,” “Nine to Five”) stars as G.G. Sparrow, a fiery co-director, who thinks tried-and-true translates into tired-andold.

The two have very different ideas of how to win a national competition and are up against overwhelming odds.

Shaking things up even more is the arrival of Randy, G.G.’s rebellious grandson, played

by Broadway star Jeremy Jordan, who has an ear for music.

However, Randy also

has an eye for the beautiful and talented daughter of Vi Rose, Olivia, played

by Keke Palmer (“Akeelah and the Bee”), which causes even more friction between the two sparring women.

If these two strongwilled women can put aside their differences for the good of the people and the town, they and the choir might make some joyful music after all.

Finally, under the determined leadership and deep faith of the two women, and the young talent who give their all to win God’s praise, they beat the competition for the grand prize.

Also appearing are Courtney B. Vance (“Final Distination 5”) as Pastor Dale; Dexter Darden (“Cadillac Records”) as Walter Hill, Olivia’s brother; Jesse L. Martin (“Puncture”) as Marcus Hill; and Kris Kristofferson (“Dolphin Tale”) as Bernard Sparrow, G.G.’s beloved husband.

Todd Graff (“Bandslam,” “Camp”) directed this film from his original screenplay.

The musically driven story brings together gospel, pop, country rock and R&B with memorable songs performed by the cast and a variety of famous artists.

Dolly Parton also wrote some original songs for this movie.

“Joyful Noise” is a funny and warm movie full of music, hope, love and renewal, interwoven in a little inspirational story.

Two sisters and participants of the Weird Science class offered at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Feb. 8, mix together one of the multiple science projects they participated in during the workshop.

EFMP families experience ‘Weird Science’ CPL. MIRANDA COLEMAN

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Children mixed, blended and swirled together a bluish-green concoction. They squeezed it between their fingers, rolled it into balls and watched as the gooey substance transformed from a solid into something that looked as if it should be running from a giant’s nose.

During a Weird Science workshop held at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Feb. 8, children not only created cool arts and crafts, but also used the experience as an opportunity for sensory learning.

The Exceptional Family Member Program created this class along with other sensory learning workshops including Sensory Story Time and Edible Science.

These classes are available to EFMP families and their children ages 6 and older.

“Our sensory story and science activities will take us into the

unknown with stories like ‘Bartholomew and the Oobleck’ by Dr. Seuss and we’ll be creating our own Oobleck for the children to take home,” said Christina Diederich, training, education and outreach specialist. “Our Edible Science recipes will include a good dose of creativity and imagination to make snacks kids can eat.”

Sensory activities provide children with another meaningful avenue for learning.

Because children learn best by having hands-on experiences with materials, sensory experiences are vital to young children’s learning, mentioned Diederich during the initial monthly EFMP Morning Coffee session.

This particular workshop focused on the subject of matter.

Participating children learned the differences between solids, liquids and gases, but for some children hearing the words just isn’t enough.

Sensory learning programs help improve perception, understanding and the ability to learn.

It is an innovative approach to developmental learning that unites three modalities – visual, auditory and vestibular – into one intervention allowing individuals to better integrate sensory messages.

Linda Coleman, a new resident to MCB Camp Lejeune, attended the class with her five children to take part in the science project.

“Three of them are registered with EFMP, and I’m working on registering the other two because they all qualify,” said Coleman.

“They all just have such different learning styles so a class like this is really great.”

EFMP encourages people of all abilities to take part in the sensory workshops and will do their best to provide reasonable accommodation for patrons to fully participate in the workshop.

TTCC serves mystery theater for dinner AMY BINKLEY

Assistant managing editor

No prom is complete without some drama, but when murder steals the spotlight, only mystery can be crowned queen.

Set at the fictional Tarawa High 1959 prom, it was a case of whodunit during a weekend of mystery theater dinner at the Tarawa Terrace Community Center aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area, Friday and Saturday.

“For a long time we’ve wanted to have an event for adults only,” said Lorraine Fuller, TTCC recreation assistant. “We thought this would be unique and something people would respond to.”

Tempted by the promise of a great show aand a chance t dress d i poodle in dl skirts, ki t bobbi b bbiie ssocks and to bobbie made their other 1950s attire, patrons m reservations early, selling ou out both performances.

Fuller sta stated, “This is a big city w a small experience with town fee. We made it aaffordable for everyone.” bee Guests teased their b beehives, nd warmed up pinned their corsages an and their dancing shoes as the they entered mm the prom-themed com community center, ve tto wait for and they didn’t hav have the opening scene be before the

show began.

Actors mingled among the crowd, never breaking character as they doo-wopped in the hallways and pointed out insulting graffiti in the restrooms.

A school bell signaled the beginning of the show as the principal, played by Sean Pittman, a youth services assistant, announced, “Someone you’re about to meet won’t make it to graduation.”

The cast included every stereotypical high school characters, including a snob, a jock, a drama queen and a rebel.

As the group arrived at prom, it’s obvious to Prom Queen Karen that something was amiss with her boyfriend Ken, the quarterback.

Ken revealed his intoxication after spending time with the school rebel, or greaser, Roy, and the royal couple broke up in front of everyone.

Members of the audience were encouraged to pay attention to the relationship between the characters. They were also offered extra credit clues by winning challenges, which included trivia and a dance contest where they showed off their best moves.

Retired Sgt. Maj. Robert Nowlan defeated Karen during the twist, adding five new clues for his table, and gave him another reason to celebrate in addition to his wedding anniversary. He admitted his wife convinced him to come to the event.

“It’s been 22 years,” he noted. “She said, ‘Let’s do something different.’ This is great.”

The mystery began when, after being named prom king, Ken dropped to the stage, crawled across the floor and “died” a very dramatic death.

Teams immediately began asking questions and

deducting from what they knew.

“We’re sitting back and observing,” Regla Feathers, who attended with her friends, explained about her game plan.

“We’ll go to each table and ask questions.”

As the clues piled up, the group of suspects started to dwindle down. Cops interrogated and investigated the scene, and after dessert was served, they announced the name of the killer. But if audiences thought they had it all figured out, they were wrong.

In an effort to keep the ending a secret, the actors had a different killer for each performance, taking away any advantage the latter crowd may have gained from their predecessors.

Made up of a cast of volunteers, including several from the Single Marines Program, the show’s success was the cherry on top of weeks’ worth of preparation.

“Acting is helping in my recovery and transition,” said Cpl. Joel Wright, Wounded Warriors Battalion, who played the murder victim. “I like being able to do something I did before the Marine Corps and making people laugh.”

Ebony Brownlee, the actress who brought Connie, Friday night’s killer, to life, enjoyed getting back to her theatrical roots in the zany performances.

“I embellished my character based on her back story,” she revealed. “When you’re described as the drama queen, there are really no limits.”

From funny to dramatic and always mysterious, Fuller and her team know how to put on a good show.

Plans are already in the works for another mystery theater performance in the fall.

DANCE FROM 1D Dressed in their dress blues, fathers of all ages and ranks made sure their daughters knew they were the belles of the ball.

The girls, whether toddlers or teenagers, seemed to bask in their daddy’s attention and glided across the dance floor in their arms.

When asked why he brought his little girl to the event, Cpl. Daniel Hartig, 2nd Intelligence Battalion, II Marine Expeditionary Force, didn’t hesitate.

“I wanted to take her to her first dance,” he said.

Many of the other daddies in the room seemed to feel the same way, setting aside any inhibitions and letting their daughters lead them in dances like the electric slide and the Cupid Shuffle and holding them close during the slower songs. “(Because of my) deployment, I didn’t get to take them to the ball this year,” noted Gunnery Sgt. Arthur Abrego Jr., Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry – East, “This gave me an opportunity to take them out. They loved leaving mom at home, getting dressed up and spending time together.”

Though most Valentine’s Day activities focus on couples, the Daddy-Daughter Dance appears to have struck a chord and found an audience aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.

“This was a great idea,” said Col. Daniel J. Lecce, commanding officer for MCB Camp Lejeune.

He, and Sgt. Maj. William C. Rice, MCB Camp Lejeune sergeant major, made low-key appearances with their daughters and watched as the Marines let loose and had a good time. “(The men) want to do something with their wives, but also with their little girls,” Colwell observed. “I love watching them dance with their daddies.”

Admittedly, many of the men were probably urged to attend by their wives, but the lasting impact it will have on their daughters will run deeper than they will ever know.

Fathers tend to underestimate the influence they have on their daughters, but the simple truth is that dads matter – a lot.

As the most important men in their lives, daughters look to dads for leadership, protection, provision and to teach them how they should be treated. Fathers set the standard that every other man who comes into their lives will be held to.

Several studies have shown that girls with fathers who are actively involved in their lives are more likely to have higher grades, more confidence, more social adaptability and are better able to deal with frustrations. They also wait longer to become sexually active.

If the attendance at this year’s Daddy-Daughter Dance proved anything, it’s that the Marines, sailors and civilians aboard MCB Camp Lejeune understand their most important title is “daddy” and their most important mission is raising their girls well.

A date for next year’s dance has already been set for Feb. 9, 2013, and Colwell said they are planning on Photos by Amy Binkley making it even bigger.

Marines move forward in their most important “Next year, we’re planning on splitting it up and domission as fathers as they pamper their princesses ing one for the younger girls and one for the older girls during the second annual Daddy-Daughter Dance so everyone who wants to can come,” she said. at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday.

hen a child with special medical needs faces an emergency, it is imperative that paramedics have as much information as possible, as quickly as possible.

North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services’ KIDBASE, the Kids Information Database Access System for Emergencies, is an alternative method to provide that information to medical personnel. The program was developed to help ensure children with special medical needs receive the appropriate care in emergencies.

KIDBASE is a medical information form where parents and their children’s physicians provide information about their child’s health needs. Once the form is completed, parents make and keep copies of it, and distribute it to the child’s school or daycare while keeping a copy with their child in their backpack.

“I think (this program) will be a saving grace for some of these kids,” said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Malissa Wickersham, a family nurse practitioner with Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune. “It would definitely help their care.”

While it was developed for medically

fragile children, it can be beneficial for children with various degrees of need.

“When people think of special needs children, they think of children with cerebral palsy or seizure disorders,” said Wickersham. “(KIDBASE) is not limited to just those families. It can be used for children with Down syndrome, autism, learning disabilities (or other conditions).”

The program also helps children who are dependent on special technologies such as a ventilator, pacemaker or ventriculoperitoneal shunts, among others.

“Giving children the care that they need for their specific condition is something that would greatly benefit (the child),” said Wickersham. “(KIDBASE) helps streamline and provide more efficient and effective care for the child’s needs.”

The program also helps children with uncommon conditions, added Wickersham. It would notify medical staff of a condition they may not have thought of and provide contact information for the child’s specialist, who can assist with developing a plan of care.

Wickersham feels that the program is well thought out and could go a long way to relieving a parent’s concern.

“It gives these families a sense of security,” said Wickersham. “It’s an absolutely wonderful program. I think it’s a great asset.”

KIDBASE forms are available on ncems.org/kidbase.

Motorists disregard school bus stop law PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Along with succeeding in the classroom, a child’s safety is just as important to parents, as well as their school departments. But there has been a growing concern about student safety because of drivers who disregard the school buses’ flashing lights and stop signs aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

“I know that the (issue of drivers passing stopped buses) happens frequently, and it should not be happening at all,” said Julie Fulton, Marine Corps K through 12 school liaison with MCB Camp Lejeune.

“You are supposed to stop regardless of which direction you’re driving. Some people have the misconception that only if you’re behind the bus you have to stop.”

According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation Division of Motor Vehicles School Bus and Traffic Safety Section, when a school bus stops for passengers, all traffic from both directions must stop on two-lane roadways, two-lane roadways with a center turning lane and four-lane roadways without a median separation.

When a school bus stops for passengers, only traffic following the bus must stop on divided highways of four lanes or more with a median separation and on roadways of four lanes or more with a center turning lane.

According to the DMV point system in North Carolina, five points can be assigned to a driver’s license for passing a stopped school bus loading or unloading children.

This violation warrants the highest point value next to aggressive driving.

A drivers license can be suspended if a driver reaches 12 points within three years.

Unfortunately, police officers are not always around to catch violators and enforce the law. Most of the time, the only witnesses are the bus drivers, other drivers nearby and the passengers.

“It worries me to see people drive past me when I make my stops,” said Brenda Padgett, a school bus driver aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. “I could be stopped, letting the kids off and they just go right on by. I’ll usually honk the horn to get their attention, but it doesn’t always work.”

Bus drivers expressed their concerns and there are many who have begun assisting authorities with the Provost Marshal’s Office by filing reports of school bus law violations.

“Sometimes, it’s hard to do the statements for the report because you need to know the license plate number and the type of car,” said Padgett. “It’s hard because the kids are the most important thing to watch at the stop. (Bus) drivers have done reports when they’re able to and the (military police) do a great job of helping us

with reported (violators).”

Putting a stop to these violations is a task that base officials and school departments will continue to tackle, which is part of the everlasting mission of ensuring the safety of students.

“The issue we’re having with drivers passing stopped buses is bad,” said Kathy Baker, a supervisor with Base Transportation, MCB Camp Lejeune. “But we’re happy to know that (Col. Daniel J. Lecce, commanding officer of MCB Camp Lejeune) and base officials are on top of things.”
